But with the Falcons doing other business this week before working on an extension for their star running back, Campbell’s husband — rapper/First Amendment pioneer/Devonta’s Pop Warner coach Luther Campbell — added to the talk on Twitter.

Of course Freeman is underpaid, even after his fourth-year rookie deal salary bumped to $1.838 million. And the Falcons have said they want to do right by the guy who has 27 touchdowns the last two seasons while splitting time with Tevin Coleman.

But those around him keep stirring the pot at unusual times and suggesting the deal’s not going to get done probably aren’t helping the case they think they’re advocating for.

Right now, they have Freeman for one year at $1.9 million and Coleman for two years at less than a $1 million per year. They have two years to choose which one they will keep going forward. They could keep them both for the next two years if they franchise Freeman in 2018. That’s what I’d do.
